After my first home run in business, which was widely publicized, I learned that my email and phone number were tainted. On craigslist I started getting worse deals, seems everyone seems to google everyone.

I rotated identities, just email, phone number, assumed a different last name in casual arenas, and everything went back to normal as a nobody.

Subsequently, the most amusing thing became reading about women googling all their potential dates. I never do that, but its funny that I’m a ghost and makes me wonder how many other ghosts they're giving the green check mark on. Seems like a waste of energy.
